Let’s take a look at the temples where the goddesses are said to undergo menstruation and they have made latest news updates often for it's uniqueness. Interestingly, these temples are situated in two corners of India, based on the same story. 

Kamakhya Temple, Gawahati:

Kamakhya Temple is situated about 8km from Gawahati Railway Station. This temple is known to be one of the 51 Shakthi Peethas in India. Shakthi Peethas are the places where the body parts of Lord Parvathi fell after she committed suicide in the Yagna when Daksha, her father insulted Lord Shiva. It is believed that the female part of the body fell at Kamakhya temple.

This place is also popularly known as ‘Yoni Peeta’.  It was actually Kamadeva who found out this place and so the name Kamakhya (place where Kamadeva is worshipped)

The origin of the Temple:

The temple was built by King Narayanan of Cooch Behar. It was built in the year 1665 A.D. It has three oval shaped Kopuras and is open from morning 8 till dawn. It is closed for few hours during noon.

What is menstruation Festival?

The Yoni statue of Parvathi Devi is kept in small pond inside the sanctum. It is believed that every year on the 7th day of Asad month the small pond turns red and it happens so because coz the Goddesses is undergoing menstruation during that time. Though there has been no scientific proof about how it is happens.  A few also say that the priests put Kumkum powder in the pond and it turns red. During the same, the temple is closed and is later opened with a great festival

That’s not just the only temple, around 40 km from Kottayam , Kerala Chengannur Bagawathy Amman temple also they believe in the menstruation of Goddesses. The belief is absolutely same as Kamakhya Temple. It is amazing that, two temples situated 1000 of Kms away from each other and the belief that the body part of Parvathi fell there.

According to a belief, it is said that the Goddesses in the temple is not Parvathi but she is Kannagi. She is the one who burned the Madurai city as her husband was wrongly sentenced by the king. After the Mudarai city was burned she came to Chengannur and attainted peace in the place where the temple is currently situated.

Realizing it was Kannagi, a hunter women worshipped her and made a small statue in mud. Later, Chera King Senguttuvan constructed this temple.

Menstruation for Chengannur Amman:

It is believed that one day when the priest came to change the flower for the Goddesses, he saw blood patches on Amman’s clothes. This cloth was shown to the ladies of Vanchi Puzhathu Madam as well as the land lady of the house of Thazhaman pothy. Both of them confirmed that Goddess was undergoing periods.  Later, they kept the statue of goddesses in a room in the north eastern part of the temple for three days. Women from Vanchi Pazhathu madam and Thazhaman Pothy houses accompany during those days. During this menstruation time a special cloth called 'Thiru Poothu' is worn by the goddesses. After the menstruation is over, Goddesses is taken out secretly in a procession on an elephant, given holy bath in the river Mithra by the women from those two houses.

This ritual is been followed for generations now. It is said that now a days goddesses undergoes menstruation for three to four times a year.

Know about the latest fad of Paleo Diet

These days diabetes, obesity and Blood pressure have become the most common among people. According to latest news reports, India ranks first in the list of Diabetes. These days, not just aged people by also youngsters (age14-25) suffer from diabetes and obesity. The numbers are increasing rapidly. But the bigger question is how can one overcome this life threatening condition?

Researchers have proved that Paleo diet is the apt solution to curb the modern day issues and this diet has created news headlines across the globe. It’s like eating how the Paleolithic age man ate. The diet recommendations in Paleo diet are exactly opposite to modern day nutritionists/doctors advice. Paleo diet follows the concept of eat fat- shed fat. But wondering how is it possible?  

People who live around 10,000 years ago did not know how to cultivate crops. Then, hunting was main source for food. The fruits they ate were mostly seasonal and that was not enough to provide energy. History has also proved that humans have been accustomed to extract energy from meat.

But today, our food consists of adulterated fruits, vegetables, chemically processed refined oils, glutton added flour etc.

As we continuously intake such foods, body stacks up trans fat, leading to all sort of diseases over the time. 

Now if you wish to follow Paleo diet chart then you are advised to skip high carbohydrate food items like rice, wheat, maida, cereals, rice, vegetables that grow under the ground such as potatoes, beetroot and fruits that contains fructose. This diet recommends that one consumes high omega fatty acid and B12 rich food items like eggs, chicken, mutton, pork and beef meats, nuts like Almonds that contains high cholesterol, Broccoli and Cabbage that contain magnesium. 

Normally a Paleo diet consists intake of 100 grams Almonds in morning, 4 eggs plus paleo veges for lunch, better tea for evening and any kind of meat for dinner. Once the body is use to this diet, then it starts to extract energy from fat. There is no denial that body can take energy from carbohydrate but that is instant energy and it is never sufficient for body’s apt functioning.

As the body is use to extracting energy from fat, it starts to burn out the fat that was stored around the belly and the weight loss is visible in a week’s time. The most common aspect that we hear is that cholesterol leads to heart attack but that is still not medically proven and is till now an assumption.

According to experts if Paleo diet is followed regularly, then it can bring diabetes to normalcy. Obesity and join pain are also to an extent cured by it. At the end of day, health is wealth and healthy living leads to happy living.
